Remember grunge? I don't. By the time I was old enough to reflect on the persona my clothes created, Clueless took a hatchet to grunge, buried it deep in a hole, and spit on the grave. Cher Horowitz tears apart the baggy jeans of her male peers ("And like we're supposed to swoon. I don't think so.") and gives her flannel-wearing "project," a very young Brittany Murphy, the ultimate makeover. For those of us that were preteens when this film hit the big screen Alicia Silverstone is THE fashion icon. You have to remember that this film is pre- Sex and the City, a precursor to the thoughtful fashionista Carrie Bradshaw. Thank you Mona May (Who is also responsible for The Wedding Singer...and 8MM?) for making it cool to care about clothes again.
